Skip the Bag: Make Your Own Oven Baked Potato Chips

Oven Baked Potato Chips recipe

Follow PBS Food on Pinterest

I love the somewhat retro snack of potato chips and sour cream dip. Trust me when I say I could go through an entire bag of chips in one sitting! It may or may not have happened before. Just saying. However, my life pretty much changed for the better when I realized that I could bake my potato chips and they’d still taste delicious.

These irresistible chips are baked, not fried, and then served with an easy sour cream and onion dip. Once you taste how delicious this dip is, you’ll never buy it at the store again, that’s for sure! You can also use reduced fat sour cream here to save even more calories.

Keep watch while these chips are in the oven so they don’t burn! You want the edges to get nice and brown though. They won’t be as crispy as fried chips, but they’re still a pretty worthy substitute.

    Ingredients

  • 1 large russet potato
  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • salt and pepper
  • bowl of ice water
  • For the Dip
  • ½ cup sour cream (reduced fat is fine)
  • 1 large green onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper and set aside. Get your bowl of ice water ready.
  • Peel the potato using a vegetable peeler and thinly slice using either a very sharp knife (carefully!) or a mandolin. The slices of potato should be so thin that they should be translucent. Immediately after slicing, place potato slices in the ice water.
  • After you have sliced the entire potato, remove slices from ice water and press dry between four paper towels. Really press them here to get rid of any extra water. Place potato slices on your prepared sheet tray and brush with canola oil on both sides. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Bake potato chips for 5-8 minutes, watching closely. You want the edges to get nice and dark so they crisp up. When they are done, remove from the oven and set aside while you make the dip.
  • To make the dip, just whisk together the sour cream, garlic powder and thinly sliced green onions. Serve with warm potato chips and enjoy!

    • Yield: 1-2 servings
